A body in motion is a beautiful thing, but through poor lifestyle choices, injuries, and general aging our range of motion can diminish to the point that we can barely bend over to pick something up off the floor. Everyone seems to take their flexibility and ease of movement for granted when they are younger. However, as time goes by those simple movements become more challenging and you are more prone to tightness and injury. Doral FL chiropractors help patients with a range of motion issues on a daily basis, and they can help you too.

Range of Motion for Daily Activities

Activities like brushing your teeth or hair, tying your shoes, or backing the car into the driveway all require joints in your body to move. Whether it is your shoulders, elbows, wrists, cervical and lumbar spine, knees, or neck; joints have to move freely in order to complete basic daily activities. Most of the time, you’ll never even notice these joints working. But if you have an injury or degenerative condition in even one of these joints, you’ll often feel the pain every day and simple tasks will become a challenge.

The Spine and Range of Motion

Your spine is one the primary areas of treatment for Doral FL chiropractic doctors and when your spinal range of motion is reduced, it affects many areas of your life. Issues with your spine are responsible for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, and debilitating back pain. As your spinal range of motion continues to decrease, it’s likely you’ll be able to do less and less and experience greater discomfort. Having your spine in alignment is crucial for a free and easy range of motion. There are so many ways that your vertebrae can become misaligned that visiting a chiropractor is a good idea even if you still feel good.

Chiropractic Help

Our Doral FL chiropractic team at Optimum Spine Chiropractic Center can work wonders when it comes to an increasing the range of motion in your spine and other areas of the body. Even if you’ve been out of commission for years, a few sessions with a reputable chiropractor can help restore blood flow, improve nerve impingement, and get your discs back in alignment. Chiropractic treatment for range of motion issues may include spinal adjustments and possibly manipulation to other parts of the body. You might also be given specific stretches or exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and lengthen tendons and ligaments in the affected areas. Once your range of motion is restored and you’re feeling good, you should be able to get back to normal activities without any pain or restriction.

About Optimum Spine

Chiropractic care can support people of different ages, lifestyles and stages of life, from those seeking relief or recovering from an injury to those who want to care for their mobility and well-being.
Certain adjustments or techniques may not be appropriate in situations such as:
Acute fractures Dislocations or joint instability Active infections affecting bones or joints Tumors or cancer affecting the spine or bone tissue Other medical conditions requiring prior evaluation or clearance
In these cases, your safety comes first. If chiropractic care is not appropriate for you, we will tell you and guide you on the next step.
First, we want to understand what is happening with you.
We begin with a conversation about your symptoms, health history and what you want to get back to doing or improve. Then we assess your posture, mobility and musculoskeletal function. When clinically indicated, we may request or perform imaging studies such as X-rays.
This information helps us explain our findings, whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you and the next steps.
The New Patient Special includes this initial evaluation.
In general, a chiropractic adjustment should not be painful. We use instrument-assisted techniques and gentle, controlled manual techniques selected for each patient’s needs, condition and comfort.
Not everyone receives the same type of adjustment. Before we begin, we explain which technique we will use and why.
Some people may experience mild, temporary soreness after a session, similar to how they feel after exercise.
There is no single frequency for everyone. It depends on your evaluation, your needs and the goals we agree on together.
After your initial evaluation, we will explain our recommendations. If chiropractic care is appropriate for you, we will develop a plan with a visit frequency suited to your case.
The plan is reviewed periodically and may change as your needs and progress change.
Care should always be adapted to the person and their stage of life.
During pregnancy, we use specific techniques adapted to the changes in the mother’s body. For babies and children, the evaluation and techniques are also adapted to their age, development and individual needs.
Yes. Our doctors and front desk team speak English and Spanish fluently, so you can receive care in whichever language feels most comfortable.
